<h2>[% terms.Bugzilla %] Data For Researchers</h2>

<p>In the past we have made sanitized (that is, with all security [% terms.bug %] information removed) dumps of the
  bugzilla.mozilla.org database available to researchers from <i>bona fide</i> academic institutions who
  are willing to agree to our requirements for data handling and user privacy. We would much prefer
  individuals to request this service rather than attempt to spider the data using the web interface.</p>

<p>Because we are familiar with the [% terms.Bugzilla %] data and its possible flaws and biases, we are
  also happy to answer questions about it, and review papers which make use of it pre-publication. Please
  let us know if you would like us to do that.</p>

<p>To request a sanitized copy of the database, please file a [% terms.bug %] against
  <a href="enter_bug.cgi?product=bugzilla.mozilla.org&component=Administration">
  bugzilla.mozilla.org/Administration</a> with the following information included.</p>

<ul>
  <li>Description of why you need the copy.</li>
  <li>The academic institution you are associated with along with any course related information.</li>
  <li>Contact information for yourself and your professor, mentor, or person overseeing your work.</li>
  <li>How soon you will need the data.</li>
</ul>

<p>Once the request has been approved you will be asked to sign an <i>Agreement for Receipt and Use
of [% terms.Bugzilla %] Data</i>. An administrator will then create the MySQL dump of the sanitized data and place
it somewhere you will be able to access it.</p>
